Maybe it would be a better idea if JD stayed out of American politics? And why don’t you send the same message to Franklin Graham and his associates from the Evangelical community? Or how about the Secretary of Defense who thinks he’s on a crusade? Pope Leo is not only the Pontiff, but he’s also an American citizen and voter. As such he’s got a right to criticize political leaders.

Vance said the pope needs to be very careful when talking about matters with theology. It used to be that the administration of the U.S. respected the pope. Not anymore.

Maybe it's just me, but these words made me laugh in disbelief. I mean, the poor fool.

It used to be that the men in Washington knew right from wrong, and while they have always been dexterous in rationalizing whatever violence they carried out, they had the wits not to argue with the Pope.

Smart is as smart does, and JD Vance's reputation for 'smart' is clearly overblown.

May his book enjoy less success than Mrs Trump's film, which was a FLOP!!!

What DECADES of HISTORY have shown us ALL....

EVERYTHING trump TOUCHES DIES!!

Which has OBVIOUSLY covered vance now!! But trump took down the chameleon vance a long time ago and no matter what self aggrandizing drivel vance writes in his boring book...you will FOREVER smell trump's stench on vance and REGIME. They bought it...they own it.

I must say..watching the IMPLOSION of trump and his maga cult regime and followers...

day after day after day after farking day...

Is not nearly as much fun as I thought it would be.

NOW I just want it to FINALLY end!

I think it’s time to excommunicate him - Vance that is !! Maybe he’d come to his senses since he’s under the spell of the Donald !!

A servant of Satan attacks/insults/ridicules/falsely accuses a servant of Jesus Christ. Nothing new. The Lord told us to expect that as He lived His life through us, shining His light of truth and exposing the darkness of the accusers. Pope Leo XIV's calm, informed, intelligent and to the points reply to President Trump demonstrated, in my opinion, the contrast between the two quite clearly. Vice President Vance has demonstrated repeatedly his spiritual shallowness, hopefully in ignorance for his sake. Very sad. God have mercy.

The Pope (and I) feel that JD Vance and tell the Pope 10 times and we both don’t care. BUT as a parent I am more upset at the lack of his respect concerns me more. That is proof that he did not take his sacraments seriously.

Jesus does not support genocide. JD does, if it will get him approval.

No amount of conversion can eradicate weasel. His Catholicism is fake news.

Thank you for your witness and writing. From CNN to the podcast last night, I was grateful for your sanity and civility.

In Russia, the upper clergy in the Russian Orthodox Church are all KGB men. They’ll never criticize Putin.

That’s the setup that Vance and Trump want.
